The body of Valentine John Webber was recovered Sunday afternoon, according to Bill Macpherson of the Regional District of Central Kootenay's emergency operations center.

The bodies of Migdal's two children, Diana 22, and Rachel 17, and another woman have not been recovered, however there are reports that a female body was found. The identity of the body has not been released.

Friends said Migdal left for Canada, Friday, to see if she could help in the search efforts.

While Migdal is in Canada her friends Kellie Kuecha and Lisa Palolo have set up Facebook pages, websites and organized a fundraiser so she doesn't have to worry about her chiropractic business or her house.

"We wanted to make sure that when she came home there was no mortgage payments to worry about," said Kuecha. "We wanted to make sure there was money in the bank, that her business would continue to thrive."

Palolo said they are encouraging people to buy gift certificates or massages at her chiropractic office while she is gone.

"There are people in her office who have families to support," said Palolo. "We are just trying to take that stress off of her so she doesn't have to think about it and she can just focus on being in Canada and taking care of what she needs to take care of for however long it takes for her to do that."

The friends have started a website, helpsupportlynn.com. On the website you can make donations to help Migdal while she is away.

They have also organized a fundraiser auction that will be held Saturday July 21st. The event is open to the public and will be held at 7080 NW 4th Ave., Boca Raton, Fla. 33487.

Kuecha and Palolo said they hope to raise $12,000 by the end of the week.
